no mercy

Nothing says Christmas like a brightly lighted tree. The holy nativity scene. Stockings hung by the chimney with care. The smell of evergreen. A cold glass of egg nog. Home cooked meals. A crackling fire. Joyous carols.

Friends.

Family from afar.

Staying up late and playing games that were received from Santa.

Making your young niece and nephew cry when you take all of their property, all of their money and crush them in a game of Monopoly.

Your nephew and niece are great actors in those photos, or your Charlie is truly brutal! My husband would be the same way! Guess no man likes to lose at anything--even if it means crushing the spirit of a young child!

My Current Favorite Quote...

I expect to pass through life but once. If therefore, there be any kindness I can show, or any good thing I can do to any fellow being, let me do it now, and not defer or neglect it, as I shall not pass this way again.

~William Penn
